About Keykit
Keykit was created in the early 1990s by Tim Thompson. It was developed to provide musicians and composers with a powerful tool for algorithmic composition and real-time MIDI manipulation, enabling complex musical creations through scripting.
Keykit's strengths included its powerful scripting capabilities and real-time MIDI manipulation. Its weaknesses were a steep learning curve and a less modern user interface. Competitors included Max/MSP, Pure Data, and SuperCollider, which offered similar functionalities with varying levels of ease-of-use and graphical interfaces.
